Ultrafiltration is a sieve separation process that can separate, purify, cleanse and concentrate solutions. It is also a membrane separation technology.
Introduction
Ultrafiltration is a sieve separation process that can separate, purify, cleanse and concentrate solutions. It is also a membrane separation technology. The surface of the ultrafiltration membrane has micropores of a certain size, and some solute molecules can selectively pass through the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane. The separation principle refers to the physical screening effect under the action of the driving force. When the raw liquid containing large and small molecular solutes passes through the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane, the micropores on the surface of the ultrafiltration membrane allow small molecular solutes and solvents to pass through the membrane surface, while hindering large molecular solutes and their particulate components from passing through the ultrafiltration membrane surface. These small molecular solutes and solvents generally belong to inorganic salts, called filtrate, and are finally collected; the large molecular solutes and particulate components that pass through the ultrafiltration membrane generally belong to organic colloids, called concentrated liquid, which are intercepted and recovered by the membrane surface.
The New Imperatives in Juice Manufacturing
1. Contemporary production challenges demand innovative approaches:
Quality Expectations
Consumers reject cloudiness and processed flavors
Retailers demand extended shelf stability
